We were also able to use our letter sounds to help us write. Shoe Baby Puppet Show Nursery, Reception and Year 1 watched a fantastic puppet show called “Shoe Baby”.

All Year 6 pupils experienced what it would have been like having to leave home to stay in a safer part of the country, as well as what it would have been like to go through an air raid. Led by four actors, all the pupils got into the spirit of the occasion and all played their parts with great vigour. It really broadened the pupils learning in literacy, where we have been reading ‘Goodnight Mr Tom’, and history, where we have studied World War 2. Monkey Class Monkey class (Nursery) have been learning about ‘People Who Help Us’ and have been thinking carefully about the important things that doctors and nurses do to keep us healthy and how they help us feel better when we are ill. We really enjoyed using our role play ‘doctors surgery’ with lots of exciting costumes and props. We also talked about being safe with medicines and eating healthy foods and getting lots of sleep. We have also been busy in our ‘Outdoor Area’ getting lots of exercise.

It has been a privilege to serve this remarkable institution in Tthis time - a period which has encompassed quite extraordinary change, not least in the newly merged boroughs of Brighton and Hove being declared as a city. Such municipal status has been emblematic of an energy for development, on many fronts, that ushers in myriad schemes for building and conversion which the Regency Society and its officers have a distinct role to play in accessing the architectural merits and sensitivities of such change and growth. These are exciting, if challenging, times. The built environment of Brighton and Hove has emerged in phases of distinct and notable styles - from our eponymous Regency, through Victorian and Edwardian epochs, significant elements of 20th century modernism, the bold and sweeping educational expansion of the 1960s, which brought us the University of Sussex, and now a much heightened general interest in new architecture, and a revived celebratory status for a range of individual architects and their practices.

  • Brighton Area Buswatch Meetings
    Brighton Area Buswatch Representing local bus users A branch of Bus Users UK Buswatch News – November 2016 Valley Gardens scheme As reported last month proposals for the first stage of the Valley Gardens project are due to be submitted to Brighton & Hove City Council’s Environment, Transport & Sustainability (ETS) Committee on 29 November. We now understand that this will be followed by a further detailed design stage lasting a year, so work is unlikely to begin before 2018. Brighton Area Buswatch has expressed concerns about several aspects of the scheme but we will await publication of the report to ETS Committee before commenting on the latest plans. Our main concern is that this scheme could make bus journeys slower, leading to a decline in bus use and the likelihood of more congestion if local people switch to cars. Our area currently has the highest bus use per head of population outside London. This is a fantastic achievement which must not be put at risk. Hopefully our concerns (which are shared by bus companies and others) will be addressed over the coming months before a final scheme is approved. Compass Travel withdraws the 40X The 40X bus from the Royal Sussex County Hospital to the Princess Royal Hospital at Haywards Heath ran for the last time on Friday 4 November. Compass acquired the service when it took over the operations of SussexBus a month earlier and sub contracted it to Southdown and Seaford & District who ran it very reliably. The 40X had been run by SussexBus in direct competition with Metrobus routes 271 & 272 which provide alternative facilities under contract to the NHS Trust.

  • Newsletter October 2018
    “The Ammonite” October 2018 Welcome to this edition of the Ammonite as, despite a late flurry of lovely hot sunshine, we prepare for the first matches of the cross country season. I would like to say a massive thank you, as ever, to all my contributors this month - and if you would like to tell your fellow club members about your athletic highs and lows then please let me have your contributions, articles and photos, by October 29th. Karin Divall [email protected] Malaga 2018- Jonathan Burrell The World Masters Championships take place every two years, with runners aged 35 and over competing within five-year age bands. During the first two weeks of September, the 2018 championships were held in the Spanish city of Malaga attracting 8000 competitors from more than 100 countries. Waiting apprehensively for my flight from Gatwick, I wondered whether I had been too ambitious in entering this event, having never previously competed at a level beyond regional competitions. I was pleased to see Ciaran Harvey, the other Lewes AC athlete bound for Malaga; Ciaran, a sprinter, had previously taken part in three global events and was able to give me advice and reassurance. Once in Malaga, the first task was to go through the processes of confirming race entries, collecting numbers and most importantly purchasing GB kit (all competitors were required to run in their national colours). My first race was an 8km cross country event, held in a pine forest on the edge of nearby Torremolinos. I was in the M55 category. The course was four laps of a narrow, undulating track through the tightly- packed trees.
